Every month , I post a report of our expenses to show that it is possible to live a comfortable, exciting, and adventurous life without breaking the bank. The less money you spend, the less you need to make. Under groceries we incorporate food, produce, and non-alcoholic drinks predominantly bought in supermarkets.
Toiletries belong in that category as well. Because of our income level, Mark and I are eligible for free health care within the state of Massachusetts.
For check-ups and extensive care, we return to the East Coast. A lot has been going on the last few weeks again , which means I barely have time to breathe, let alone keep up with my diaries, answer emails, practice Spanish, read a book or blog posts, write, research products and destinations, or work on my own blogs. This one has been ten days in the making, half an hour each time I make an attempt, not my usual approach.
This proves to be hard in the Houston area. Maybe next week. Back to our expenses of last month…. And then a bunch more in this state as well. With our crappy fuel economy The idea was to sit still somewhere, once we arrived in our last US state, but the weather has not been cooperative. High heat and humidity, nasty bugs, and heavy wind have kept us moving about. We did another oil change and bought spare parts for our engine.
Our grocery expenditure was relatively low. I really enjoy getting rid of things — whether it is by eating food or donating material belongings. On the opposite end of the spectrum, we keep on buying and buying for this upcoming South America trip — mostly on Amazon.
